greetings from kofu

where is kofu you ask? it's pretty remote. next to fuji, it's the capital of yamanashi-ken. country grammar. dueling shamisens. my sister taught 3 years here in the jet program so we are staying with the landlords for a couple days. we took the shinkansen from osaka then the subway to shizuoka, then the fujikawa 9 to kofu where we were the laughing stocks. we were traveling with a billion bags and the mean conductor was being a dick making us play musical suitcases moving it here and there on the empty train. jerk. but now we're here and i feel like i've stepped into an episode of maison ikkoku. manga really does reflect the culture! i semi know what to expect from city to country. despite my manga into, this nation still blows my mind, i am in awe.
